After a while of playing, I was able to simplify the mechanics down to somewhat a science.

Every time a level is completed: Upgrade Bravery
If Bravery isn't an option, upgrade Movement Speed

Sword Speed seems to do very little
Spawn Time seems to only reduce lag

To defeat Ninjas: Rush and slash
To defeat Aliens: Try to avoid getting hit then rush them after they fire
To defeat Executioner: Come up from below

Other than that, interesting graphics, would have been a 4 star rating if there was some sort of an intro that at least said she was put into her room.

That's one of the best games that i ever played.

The gameplay its so good, the concept is amazing, the enemy bar remembers me some games (e.e).
Its perfect. A style of games that i don't see anymore. Good idea :D

Lot of good elements here. I particularly like the concept. The enemy bar was a nice touch as well. The thing I wasn't too crazy about was how your progress resets when Emily gets too scared. It felt like all the leveling up I previously did was for nothing and made me less likely to want to give it another go, especially once I got Emily to become especially powered only to have her restart and be all slow again.

love the whole in-her-imagination concept. wish there was a way to pause, and maybe a little context as to why she's stuck in her room. ragdoll physics on enemies are always delightful lol

Graphics are rad, and music doesn't get old quickly. Controls are kind of crappy and there are a ton of bugs. Kept my attention for a long time. You should work on the controls a bit more and bugfix. This game could be a gem. In other words great moves. Keep it up. Work on this game a bit more and then make more games. You are talented! :)
